This work endeavors to connect two somewhat different concepts in a broad historical context. The first topic, Islamophobia, is generally defined as "the fear, hatred of, or prejudice against, the Islamic religion or Muslims generally," especially when Islam and Muslims are conflated with terrorism and regression. The second broad subject matter is the ideological assault - a reference to the perceived contrariness of Islam to Western thought, in as much as that the Western mind feels compelled to dilute and reinterpret Islam to its own liking and comfortability. The implicit bias in this way of thinking is that Islam - in its earliest original teachings - poses some threat to Western thought and its notions of civilization, progress, modernity, and freedom. This is the overarching subject of the entire book. This volume addresses in detail the incremental decline of Muslim civilization due to the onslaught of foreign ideologies and how this resulted in both the Crusades and Mongol Invasions. It discusses how the dual threat of speculative philosophy and gnostic mysticism eroded the roots of the tree of faith, making the community of believers prone and vulnerable.
